Howdy.
So I'm pretty sure Lori really loves me now. Thinking in a few years we'll get married, have kids, etc. I can't wait to see how it works out. Can't imagine being with anybody else. I love her and she loves me. It rocks!
She got a job offer today. Woohoo! I told her to quit her last job about a month ago because she hated it (it affected me too). I said I'd support her. I think she will be much happier now. And me too.
Things are progressing pretty well at work. I recently picked up Ruby. It's pretty nice. It reminds me as kind of a mix of Python and Perl. Haven't decided if I like it better than Python yet. But I've written some pretty neat stuff already. Hopefully we'll start on our next project fairly soon.
On September 8th, we decided to become vegetarians. I have had no meat since then, but still eat dairy products frequently. So that classifies me as an ovo-lacto vegetarian. It's been interesting. Soy milk is better than I expected. Veggie food in general is better than I expected. I've also been working on eating less.. counting calories etc. I've been averaging about 1200-1800 a day for almost two months.. I used to eat a lot more (2500-3000ish), and have started feeling full a lot more easily. So I think my diet is getting better, and it will likely be a permanent change. Need to work out more.. I've been working out on the elliptical a bit, but not often enough. I just get awfully burned out at work a lot. Trying to sleep more, get up earlier, etc.
My brother's tried to help me with the exercise thing. Early in August I climbed Mount Bierstadt with him. I didn't make it to the top, but I did get to about 13,500-13,700 ft before turning back. And doing so kicked the shit out of me. I haven't felt that much pain in a long, long time. My heart was pounding just going back down the damn mountain. I was probably very close to my max HR for 2+ hours. Frankly, I don't think I'm ready to do anything with my brother, and that makes me really sad. But I need to do things at my own pace or it'll just keep burning me out and turning me off to getting a decent exercise schedule going.
My parents are coming to visit for Thanksgiving. It'll be nice to see them and introduce them to Lori. I think it will be a great holiday together. Though I still miss Grandma, and having them here in Denver with us will be a reminder of that. But we'll celebrate her memory.
